Evolutionists admit that there is not a single finding in the fossil record to
show that turtles ever underwent evolution. In his book Vertebrate
Paleontology and Evolution, Robert Carroll says that the earliest turtles are
encountered in Triassic formations in Germany and that these are easily
distinguished from other species thanks to their hard shells, which are very
similar to those of specimens living today. He then goes on to say that no trace
of earlier or more primitive turtles has ever been identified,although turtles
fossilize very easily and are easily recognized even if only very small parts are
found. (Robert Carroll, Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution, p. 207)
